TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — An apparent Israeli strike in the Lebanese capital of Beirut killed Hamas’ second-highest ranking political leader Tuesday, marking a potential escalation of Israel’s war against the militant group and heightening the risk of a wider Middle East conflict.Saleh Arouri, who was the most senior Hamas figure killed since the war with Israel began, was also a founder of the group’s military wing. His death could provoke major retaliation by Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah militia.The strike hit an apartment in a building in a Shiite district of Beirut that is a Hezbollah stronghold, and Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has vowed to strike back against any Israeli targeting of Palestinian officials in Lebanon.Hezbollah and the Israeli military have been exchanging fire almost daily over the Israeli-Lebanese border since Israel’s military campaign in Gaza began nearly three months ago.

Matt Poitras returning to Bruins earlier than expected after Canada eliminated

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:55:54 GMT

Canada’s pain should be the Bruins’ gain.Team Canada was upset by Czechia in quarterfinals of the World Junior Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden on Tuesday morning, 3-2, on a deflected goal with 11 seconds left in the third period, knocking Canada out. That means 19-year-old rookie Matt Poitras will be released from Team Canada sooner than expected. UMass goalie Michael Hrabel (28 saves) was the hero for the Czechs.Coach Jim Montgomery told reporters in Columbus that he suspects Poitras will return to Boston sometime on Wednesday. The B’s, who play the Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, play on Thursday at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins but that would seem like quick of a turnaround. Saturday’s game at the Garden against the Tampa Bay Lightning is a more reasonable target date for a return.“How soon he plays, again, that’s up for discussion because it just happened,” said Montgomery.Poitras had two goals and two assists in five games in the tourname...

Michael Cohen can’t hold Donald Trump liable for retaliatory imprisonment, appeals court says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:55:54 GMT

By LARRY NEUMEISTER (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Cohen can’t hold his former boss, ex-president Donald Trump, liable because he was jailed for what he claimed was retaliation for writing a tell-all memoir, an appeals court said Tuesday.The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said in an order that it would not revive a lawsuit that a lower-court judge had tossed out because the law did not seem to provide a damages remedy for most claims that someone was jailed in retaliation for their criticisms of a president.A three-judge panel concluded Cohen already obtained relief by getting a judge to order his release from imprisonment to home confinement several weeks after he was abruptly put behind bars when the government claimed he violated severe restrictions on his public communications. It said the law did not provide an outlet for more relief than that.Cohen served over a year of a three-year sentence in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2018...
